Help for multi-factor authentication (MFA)

NOTE! If you have a Danish social security number (CPR), you will automatically get the option to use NemID (via app or key card) for multi-factor-authentification on UCPH' systems - and then you do not need to take any further action.

If you do not have NemID, you must choose one of these methods:

Options for students Options for employees
SMS-one-off code

If your phone number is registered correctly in UCPH' Self-service, you will automatically receive a one-time code via text message when you log on to one of UCPH' systems with two-factor authentication. See the Guide Check and change phone number in Self Service

NOTE! Insert "00" in front of your country code in the mobile phone number and avoid spaces between the numbers. For example, write 0045 in front of a Danish number. Find your country code at http://www.landekode.dk/.

For further information on the SMS method read section A In the guide on how to setup the receiving of SMS passwords.

 MFA with SMS is only possible for students – employees must use NemID, or one of options mentioned below.
